Applied Illustration: Looking into Web Comics - Jen Lee and Michelle Czajkowski

I had started to think about the possibility of creating an animated gif set as a web comic. I took a look into pre existing documents, the first suggested to me was Jen Lee's Web Comic Thunderpaw which had small but well placed gif sets in the comic. I really liked the limited colour palette useage as I think it added to the story.

I also looked at Ava's Demon (by Michelle C) but I liked this less, it was a more clunky web comic but it was crowd funded which was something I might consider when/if creating my own web comic. It is also updated every monday and thursday which I liked, I thought that was a good way to keep people involved and interested. I wasn't so impressed with her style of drawing or use of colour palette but I did like how she crowd funded for her web comic and had promoted it on various websites (having a tumblr running alongside the actual blog to promote it to a specific audience.).
